Great Eastern Ranges Initiative- Kanangra Boyd to Wyangala Link (K2W)

The Kanangra Boyd to Wyangala Link is a major landscape corridor, connecting the sandstone forests of the Greater Blue Mountains with protected areas and treasured habitats on private land in the upper reaches of the Lachlan River catchment. The area is one of extraordinary natural diversity, rich in Aboriginal and post-settlement heritage.

The Kanangra Boyd to Wyangala (K2W) Link is vital to the long term survival of many species that are native to the Great Eastern Ranges. It provides a natural corridor used by migratory species as they move between the temperate woodlands of the central and southern slopes and tablelands, and the forests of the Greater Blue Mountains and beyond. From late 2012, the K2W Link project will work with landholders and Landcare, staff from the Lachlan CMA, local government, National Parks and other land management authorities to:
Support voluntary management of remnant native habitats by local landholders, parks staff and others;Encourage collaborative control of pests and weeds across property boundaries to improve the condition and corridor value of habitat linkages;Restore lost habitat connections through assistance and support for voluntary revegetation;Support reconnection with country through sharing of Aboriginal traditional knowledge and development of new joint ventures;Provide opportunities for community involvement in field days, replanting events, and wildlife surveys.
